After all, this is exactly what someone would do if they were looking up a title on a home purchase! I've had great results in parts of NJ doing just this.....Jack ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Peggy Bowman via <nybrooklyn@rootsweb.com> To: nykings@rootsweb.com, nybrooklyn@rootsweb.com Subject: [BKLYN] Locating property records Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2014 21:40:34 -0500 I am requesting some help in finding information, hopefully online, regarding property my great-grandparents owned in Brooklyn and possibly in Queens. According to New York state census and the US census, my great-grandparents owned a home on Stanhope St in Brooklyn from around 1905 to 1942 when my great-grandmother passed. I would like to know more about that property and was wondering where I can search for the information. Also, somewhere between the 1920 and the 1930 census, my great-grandparents, their daughter and son-in-law moved to Queens and lived on 215th St. I can't get a clear picture of exactly when they moved or whether or not it was owned by my great-grandparents or by their son-in-law. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Peggy
